Nice neat code posts

IE9 works perfectly everywhere else.

IE9 works better than IE8 for most everything, that is not true when viewing this forum.

From my experienece and understanding of the current situation (looking at Microsofts Connects outstanding issues list) Those statements are not the norm !

IMHO, the simple answer is dont use IE9....Firefox is an established alternative, that WORKS.

google something like "IE9 extra line breaks" you'll see its NOT just this forum, its an issue with many sites when browsing with IE9.

The next update to the forum will contain some fixes that help with IE9 issues, but thats going to be a few months away.

Sorry, but there is nothing that i can do to fix that at present.

You might want to join Microsoft Connect to keep up with the known issues and some work arounds for IE9 ......several thousands! though you maybe surprised to see that the main drive now seems to be to get IE10 out of the door in an effort to move forward. Dont take my word for it, get it from the horses mouth. Steves your man!


The forum is not perfect......but the issues you mention are not specific to this forum.

OK, before it raises it head, there is another IE issues that you should be aware of

If you create a post with a \ in the subject line, users will not be avle to view the post in IE.

HTML does not diss-allow this. However IE is breaks the url at the slash, its incorrect.

On post #28 and when i place the mouse pointer over the images, these images open automatically on a bigger window. It is the first time I encounter something like this.

Is it a new feature? Or an IE8 bug? Ifit is a bug, it is a nice one!

P.S. Is it me or Balmer is really ridiculous??

OK, you used to have to click to open the image in a shadow box, now, just hover over the image.

I implemented this a while back. I was expecting someone to complain, but heard nothing.....actually i'd forgotten about it !

Steve, either a complete and utter nutter and fun to work with....or maybe just a complete nutter. I don't know. But for sure MS needs to catch up.

An interesting WYSIWYG BBCode editor

Another one

Some emoticons may not work properly but, no real big deal

Just to avoid confusion on the previous, the first WYSIWYG BBCode editor I was talking about is called WYSIWYG BBCode Editor

Bellow is the direct link

As I said, some emoticons may not work properly, but this is something that looks easy to fix by editing the smileys.ini file.

Has anyone noticed any changes to the editor? or advanced option?

The new Editor

The forum is now running with the new CKEditor (formerly known as FCKeditor). It is more powerful and has more feature than the previous editor.

CKEditor is a text editor to be used inside web pages. It's a WYSIWYG editor, which means that the text being edited on it looks as similar as possible to the results users have when publishing it. It brings to the web common editing featuresfound on desktop editing applications like Microsoft Word and OpenOffice.

Currently not every CKeditor feature is available on this forum, additional features will be enabled if the CKeditor proives popular and useful.

Points to note that may address some issues that were lacking in the old editor are;

• This Editor has an “Auto Save” function, which comes handy while typing a long blog post or posting a new thread with lots of content. This sis set to auto save every 30 seconds.
• CKEditor is full compatibility with “WebKit” browsers such as Google Chrome and Safari.
• CKEditor has an “Paste from Word” feature which lets you preserve the as much of Microsoft Word Text Formatting as possible while pasting the content directly from a document.

CKEditor offers full accessibility functionality, its fast loading and has awesome AJAX capabilities.
